Screen Eyed Baby Ice is a mixed-media variety show that continually recycles and repurposes a vocabulary of fragmented scenes, songs, dances, and sounds. Relying equally on group memory and extensive video documentation, each performance is an attempt to reconstruct the past in its new, present context. Onstage, scenarios play out in no prepondered order, content evolves, and performers’ impulses undermine each other without warning. Yet the work’s tightly crafted design and choreography fuels a paradoxically exacting style of improv-driven work.

Distinct iterations of the work are radically different in scale and structure, rejecting the notion that a performance must look the same each time. It has been shown in dance, theater, and music venues, as well as a public installation-performance, and runtimes have ranged from 14 minutes to 12 hours.

In 2014, BBG created the SEBI Performance Series which featured over 25 guest artists paired with and placed within new episodes of SEBI. The series took place over four performances in four Brooklyn venues.
